A Little Shabbat Music

Listen to Shlomo Carlebach's 'Lo Sayvoshee,' from his final album, 'Shabbos in Shomayim'

The music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach has continued to grow in popularity, even in the years since his sudden death in 1994. In particular, Carlebach's musical settings of the traditional Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service have been embraced by mainstream Orthodox synagogues across the globe. The following song, taken from the second half of the Lecha Dodi prayer--in which the Shabbat is greeted as if it were a bride--is an example of Carlebach's Kabbalat Shabbat service.
